Exploring Environmental History Episode 23 Available

The 23rd episode of Jan Oosthoek’s podcast “Exploring Environmental History” is now online. This episode is the second of a four-part series on the question: What is environmental history?

Paul Warde, Reader in modern history at the University of East Anglia, joins Jan to discuss definitions, methods, and challenges for environmental history. This follows up on the previous interview with Donald Worster on the same topic.

This four-part series is shaping up to be the beginning of a very interesting discussion at this juncture in the trajectory of environmental history research and teaching. These podcasts will be an incredibly useful resource for teaching and research. I think I might assign these episodes for my students in the future.
